MAI Image 2.6 generated an ivory coral-like ceramic sculpture on a stone plinth against an olive backdrop

microsoft/mai-image-2.6 / 1024 × 1024

A study in ceramic and light

Editorial studio photograph of a sculptural coral ceramic ring on an ivory stone plinth. Deep olive backdrop, warm side light, tactile surfaces, long architectural shadow. Minimal luxury product composition, no text, no logos.

Actual returned image. The model interpreted “coral” as a branching ceramic form; this illustrates why reviewing the result matters.

A courtyard in the first light

03 / MEET MAI IMAGE 2.6

Not just a picture.
A conversation
with an idea.

Microsoft AI’s MAI Image 2.6 family brings generation and editing into the same creative workflow: start with a description, develop a direction, and refine the details.

Read Microsoft’s model overview
01

Generate, then refine.

Create a new image from text, or select the verified editing workflow to develop a reference image. Your prompt, model selection, and returned result stay in one studio.

02

Bring more than one reference.

Microsoft documents multi-reference editing, giving a creative brief more visual context. Use the verified editing workflow to provide supported reference images.

03

Ground the direction.

The model family supports web grounding. Grounding is not currently exposed in this studio; no unverified switch is shown.

04

Give the composition room.

Dynamic aspect ratios and output up to 1.5K offer different framing possibilities. Use the verified ratios shown in our studio; the connected route does not expose a resolution selector.

04 / THE FAMILY

About MAI Image 2.6, your account,
and the creative workflow.

What is MAI Image 2.6?

MAI Image 2.6 is Microsoft AI’s image-generation and editing model family. This independent studio connects verified model-specific routes to an on-site workflow for creating, reviewing, and keeping images.

Can I generate MAI Image 2.6 images on this site?

The studio checks its current connection when this page opens. You can prepare a prompt while it checks; the Generate button opens only after availability is confirmed.

Can I edit an existing image?

The studio checks editing availability when this page opens. Choose an available editing workflow after the connection check finishes, then upload your references and describe the change.

Can I use MAI Image 2.6 Flash?

Flash availability is checked with the studio connection. The model selector shows the workflows you can use after that check, with each model and credit quote visible.

How are credits and generation costs handled?

The studio shows the quote for the selected model and settings before you generate. Check the pricing page for current plans and model rates. If a provider response is uncertain, review or reconcile that request before creating another; an uncertain status is not proof of failure or refund.

Are the images on this page real MAI Image 2.6 outputs?

Images labelled as actual MAI Image 2.6 outputs are first-party returned results, shown with their original prompt and model identity. The separate geometric concept studies are original illustrations, explicitly labelled as not model output. We do not present stock art or another model’s work as MAI Image 2.6 results.

Is mai-image.pro an official Microsoft website?

No. This is an independent image studio, not affiliated with, operated by, or endorsed by Microsoft. Our account, pricing, support, and policies apply to this service. Official Microsoft links are source references, not the destination of our primary create workflow.

What happens to my prompt and reference images?

When you submit a generation, the required prompt, settings, and supported reference media are sent for processing through our server-side integration. Account history records your generation and returned result. Do not submit sensitive personal information or files you lack permission to use. See the privacy policy for storage, partners, and your controls.

EVERY IMAGE STARTS SOMEWHERE.
